DEVICE FOR SQUEEZING LEMON-SLICES.

Specification of Letters Patent.

Patented Feb. 23, 1909.

Application filed December 20, 1907. Serial No. 407,420.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, CENTA DOLL, a subipt of the German Emperor, andresident of 3 'rchstrasse, Darmstadt, Germany, have invented certain newand useful Improvements in Devices for Squeezing Lemon-Slices, of whichthe following is a specification.

The invention relates to a device for squeezing lemon slices, such asthose served up with dishes.

The essential point of the invention is the connection of a spit to theactual squeezing device for the lemon slices, so that the completedevice with the lemon slices ready for squeezing can be placed with thedishes.

By artistic arrangement of the device it can at the same time be madeornamental.

In the drawing four forms of construction of the invention are shown.

Figure -1 is a side view, and Fig. 2 is a front view of one form ofconstruction with a spring cramp as squeezing device. Figs. 3 and 4 areside and front views showing the use of a squeezer with the squeezingparts joined together by a link, and with the spit constructed as afork. Fig. 5 shows a front view, andFig. 6 in plan the construction ofthe spring cramp and s it in one piece, in which the spit is place atthe side of the spring cramp. Fi 7 shows the same form of constructionwit the spit placed between the two arms of the cramp.

According to Figs. 1 and 2 the device consists of a spit 1 to which thespring cramp 2 is attached. The spring cramp has a hole at 3 by which itis placed on the spit 1, at the art 4 which is provided with a thread,and is held tight by screwing up the head 5. The arms of the cramp 2 andthe head 5 can be constructed in any desired artistic form so that thecomplete device may be used as an ornament.

The arms of the cramp 2 are usually in the position v shown by thedotted lines. The IIISGItlOILOf the lemon slice is carried out bypushing the s it 1 through the same so that the slice is he (1 betweenthe two arms of the cram i 2 as may be seen in Fig. 1.

In igs. 3 and 4 it'is shown that the spit 1 can have its lower endconstructed as a fork. The lemon slice itself is stuck on the fork andbrought between the parts 2, 2, which turn on the pivot 7; on the innerside of these parts projections 8 may be placed in order to obtain abetter hold of the lemon slice.

In the forms of construction shown in Figs. 5, 6 and 7 a lemon squeezerand spit are constructed from one piece by stamping. Figs. 5 and 6 showthe spit 1 laced at the side of the actual squeezing evice 2. In thiscase also the parts 2 are provided with projections 8, so that the lemonslices are held in position, on the one by the spring of the parts 2,and on the other hand by means of the pro'ecting oints 8. Fig. 7 againshows the evice with the spring cramp and the spit constructed in onepiece, the spit bein placed between the arms of the cramp, this beingdone by bending the spit correspondingly at the point 9 after stamping.

The lemon slices with the complete device can be served with the dishes,(as shown in Fig. 1), in such a manner that the spit 1 may be placed inthe dish. By simply pressing with the fingers on the arms of the cramp 2the lemon slices will be squeezed without coming directly into contactwith the fingers.

What I claim as my invention and desire to secure by Letters Patentis 1. In a device for squeezing lemomslices the combination with a spitof two movable arms fixed to the said spit and adapted for holding andpressing the lemon slices, substantially as set forth.

2. In a device for squeezing lemon slices the combination with a spit oftwo movable arms fixed to the top end of the said spit and adapted forholding and pressing the lemon slices, the bottom end of the said spitbeing forked, substantially as set forth.

3. In a device for squeezing lemon slices the combination with a spit ofa two-armed spring cram fixed to the said spit and. adapted for ioldingand pressing the lemon slices, substantially as set forth.

In testimony whereof I have hereunto signed my name this 5th day ofDecember 1907, in the presence of two subscribing witnesses.

CENTA DOLL.
